The American Riding Instructor Certification Program was established in 1984 with the objective of helping to solve the problem of unskilled riding instructors, by creating a “certification process”. This carefully, and well-thought-out test of skill, was designed to distinguish instructors who teach with the horse knowledge, understanding of training safety and have the integrity teach. ARICP Certification sets these Trainers apart from trainers who may or may not be qualified to teach. All the trainers here have undergone extensive testing with the ARICP and have been Certified and are qualified to train you and your horse.
